Recover your life (RYL) came up with the Butterfly Project. The Butterfly Project was created for people who self harm and need the motivation to stop. The idea is simple. All you have to do is draw a butterfly on your wrist or where ever you cut. The object is not to kill your butterfly by cutting yourself. This is the first way for the butterfly project. The second is you can start off by drawing a caterpillar, as time progresses it grows to be a cocoon, then finally a butterfly! Some people like to put names under their butterflies to symbolize their doing this for a love one. So, every time you cut, your hurting a love one. You cannot wash the butterfly off, you must let it fade. When your butterfly fades then you have completed the butterfly project and tend to feel a since of achievement. You have the choice of repetitively drawing butterflies until you're clean or strong enough to fight the temptation on your own. If your a male and want to do the butterfly project you can change the butterfly into something more masculine.
Even if you don't cut, you can still draw one on your wrist. To represent that you know someone who does self harm and to show that you support their struggle. Write the person's name under the butterfly so when they do recover you can wash it off. Make sure to show them your butterfly in honor of them.
